💡 Idea

Context: #751, #346

This is just to write down what improvements could be made to the browser and web push notifications in the future.

Browser/Desktop notifications in general

Investigate the renotify, requireInteraction and silent parameters - experimental web features, Chromium-based only
Clearing notifications when the message is marked as read - Notification close()

Web Push specifically

Pre-cache images in the service worker when a new notification with an image comes in
Experiment more with TTL and Urgency
Investigate how to support web push on "use other server" (some sort of forwarder like upstream poll for iOS?)
Investigate how web push should interact with account sync (probably needs its own issue/discussion)

Not sure if this belongs here or if I should make a new issue for it but...
Can we have separate sounds per priority level in the web app like the android app has vibration levels matching priority?
I'd like to use the web app instead of the android app because of the markdown support but I really need sounds to distinguish the priority of my notifications.
